title: The synthesis of 1-(4-triethoxysilyl)phenyl)-4,4,4-trifluoro-1,3-butanedione, a novel trialkoxysilane monomer for the preparation of functionalized sol-gel matrix materials.
abstract: The title compound, 1-(4-triethoxysilyl)phenyl)-4,4,4-trifluoro-1,3-butanedione, was synthesized in a three-step sequence starting from 2-(4-bromophenyl)propene. Containing both a trialkoxysilyl and a substituted 1,3-butanedione functional grouping within its structure, this new silane is a viable starting material for the preparation of functionalized sol-gel materials.
